“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” the music mogul said in a video statement posted Sunday to Instagram and Facebook.

The security video aired Friday shows Combs, wearing only a white towel, punching and kicking Cassie, an R&B singer who was his protege and longtime girlfriend at the time. The footage also shows Combs shoving and dragging Cassie, and throwing a vase in her direction.

‘Just Called to Say Hello’: Magician David Copperfield Reportedly Left 16 Messages for Jeffrey Epstein in Early 2000s

/1 Comment/in , /by

Magician David Copperfield and late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly used to be in frequent contact, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The nature of their relationship was first called into question when the entertainer’s name surfaced during Epstein’s 2019 child sex trafficking trial. Court records and police evidence indicated that the pair met at least three times, and two of Epstein’s victims claimed to have been present at some of these meetings.

Copperfield was also among those named in a batch of unsealed court documents in January that listed individuals who were tied to the financier. While the inclusion of the magician’s name raised eyebrows, it did not implicate him in any crimes.

However, he has been accused of sexual misconduct in the past, and 16 women came forward this week with new allegations. Some of the women claimed that they were underage at the time of the alleged incidents.

The Guardian US obtained copies of notepads that staff at Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., used to write down messages for the businessman. It was discovered that between 2004 and 2005, Copperfield appeared to have called Epstein “persistently.” (Read more from “‘Just Called to Say Hello’: Magician David Copperfield Reportedly Left 16 Messages for Jeffrey Epstein in Early 2000s” HERE)

Teachers Union Boots School Counselor Who Questioned Trans Policies: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

A teachers’ union in Minnesota expelled an elementary school counselor who expressed concerns about her district’s trans-identified students’ policy, The Christian Post reported Saturday.

The counselor, Christina Barton, stated during meetings on March 19 and May 7 that she did not believe that Rochester Public Schools took adequate steps to inform parents if their child identified as the opposite sex, according to The Christian Post.

In early May, Barton received a letter from the Rochester Education Association informing her that she was expelled from the union, The Christian Post reported.

The president of the Rochester Education Association, Vince Wagner, told The Christian Post that Barton was expelled for violating the National Education Association’s Code of Ethics for teachers, especially Principle 1 related to “Commitment to the Student.”

The association’s letter alleged that Barton “mischaracterized Rochester Public Schools policies and practices regarding LGBTQ+ students, spoke negatively of fellow union members, and spread misinformation about transgender youth,” according to the Christian Post.

Students Turn Backs on Biden During Commencement Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some students turned their backs as President Joe Biden delivered a commencement speech Sunday at Morehouse College, an historical black college and Martin Luther King Jr.’s alma mater.

At least three Morehouse graduates could be seen in photos with their backs turned, according to an X post by a pro-Trump super PAC. One of them wore a keffiyeh scarf to signify solidarity with Palestinians.

The press pool traveling with Biden acknowledged seeing one student who stood at the back of the ceremony with his back turned and his right fist raised. According to the pool, a “few” graduates and faculty staff were wearing keffiyeh scarves.

While Biden called Hamas’s attack on Israel on October “vicious,” and mentioned “hostages” from the attack, he focused more on the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” called for an “immediate ceasefire,” and told students their “voices should be heard,” in reference to the pro-Palestinian protests breaking out at college campuses.

“I support peaceful, non-violent protest. Your voices should be heard. And I promise you, I hear them,” he said. (Read more from “Students Turn Backs on Biden During Commencement Speech” HERE)

Biden Rejects More Trump Debates: ‘No More Games’; Biden’s Team Had a Few Demands for a Trump Debate. A Major One: No Crowd.

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden on Friday rejected participation in more debates, which former President Donald Trump said Biden agreed to attend.

NBC News and Telemundo would have hosted the first presidential event, NBC News confirmed, while Fox News at Virginia State University would have hosted a vice presidential debate at a historically black college.

Trump announced the now-defunct agreement Friday. “I have accepted a fourth Presidential Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, this time with NBC & Telemundo,” Trump said:

It is important as Republicans that we WIN with our Great Hispanic Community, who Biden has devastated with Crippling Inflation, High Gas Prices, Crime in our Streets, and Border Chaos. This Fourth Debate will go along with our previously accepted Presidential Debates on CNN, ABC, and Fox. This is all in addition to our accepting an invitation from Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News to host the Vice Presidential Debate at Virginia State University, or another venue, in Virginia, to be named later. These are the Debates that Voters have been asking for, and these are the Debates that Voters will get!

. . .

“The debate about debates is over,” a Biden campaign official told NBC News. “No more games.” (Read more from “Biden Rejects More Trump Debates: ‘No More Games’” HERE)

Biden’s Team Had a Few Demands for a Trump Debate. A Major One: No Crowd.

By Politico. . .They resolved in private that if Biden ever faced Trump on a debate stage, there would be no one in the peanut gallery.

That demand became part of the reelection campaign’s agreed-upon proposal to Trump this week for their two general election debates, one in June the other in September. An empty TV studio could, Biden aides feel, deprive their GOP rival of a major advantage when they face off.

“Trump feeds off the crowd, they give him life,” said one Biden adviser who was granted anonymity in order to discuss internal strategy. “We wanted to take that away.”

There were several conditions that the Biden team felt were necessary in order to agree to a debate with the former president, among them that at least one forum take place before the start of early voting and that the hosts weren’t from outlets with an ideological bent toward Trump. But in interviews with more than a half dozen officials and advisers who were not authorized to discuss private conversations, the issue of the crowd was consistent. Among their concerns were that the audience noise could disadvantage Biden, who sometimes has trouble hearing amid a din. They also wanted to ensure that there was a clean tempo and cadence to the debate and that it not turn into a shouting match or spectacle. Biden aides have envisioned using the forums to pummel Trump on abortion rights, his response to the Covid pandemic and threats to democracy. For that reason, they were also pleased that the debate would, it appears, involve microphones that can be cut off if a candidate speaks when it’s not their turn.

Joe Biden Comes up With New Plan to Gain Back Black Voters

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has come up with a new plan to gain back the votes of Black Americans as polls reveal he is losing ground with them.

During Biden’s visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Friday, the president announced a new way to bolster votes he desperately needs to secure the 2024 election.

The Department of Justice unveiled a proposal to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. If approved, this would reduce federal penalties related to marijuana possession.

The new change comes at a crucial time for Biden’s re-election chances. With the president trailing behind former President Donald Trump, the turnout of Black voters is crucial for Biden to secure another four years in office.

However, New York Times White House correspondent Zolan Kanno-Youngs claimed that Biden’s effort to reschedule marijuana to reduce criminal punishment will not be enough to secure him enough votes from Black Americans.

It’s early and we’re looking at polling here, but one, I can tell you that these numbers have the attention of …some of President Biden’s closest political advisers. They are worried about about this frustration thus far because this very much is the base of the party and in a way sort of scrambling for different policy achievements now that you can show that can energize not just voters in the black community, which is obviously not a monolith, but specifically young black voters as well. So that falls as the marijuana announcement definitely is an example of that.

Look, that’s essentially a proposed rule. It’s not going to take effect for a while. It’s like a long arduous process. The fact that the president put out a video with it yesterday, a week after the Justice Department sort of recommendation to the White House even shows just the urgency to really find something to energize these voters. But I do want to say too, look when we talk about young black voters, when we talk about voters in the black community, many of the concerns are the same that many American voters have. It‘s the economy, right? It’s frustrations around affordability. So just looking for sort of different announcements such as like a marijuana announcement is not going to suffice.

Top Pediatrician: US Medical Establishment Is ‘Misleading’ the Public About the Science Behind Child Sex Changes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The British medical establishment was long captive to gender ideology. It is now coming to terms with the error of its ways, having realized that the supposed “right side of history” where the trans-activist flag waves proudly is actually the province of pseudoscience, misery, and mutilation.

Dr. Hilary Cass, a British medical doctor who previously served as president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, hammered the final nail into the coffin for the “gender-affirming care” narrative in April.

Cass, a highly esteemed recipient of the Order of the British Empire, was appointed by the National Health Service in England in 2020 to lead an independent investigation into Britain’s sex-change regime and its youth facing services. Her 388-page final report — released shortly after England effectively banned the prescription of puberty blockers and shuttered the infamous Tavistock child gender-identity clinic — made abundantly clear that the evidence in support of “gender-affirming care” was “weak” at best.

In addition to highlighting unreliable science and the fallout of sex-change interventions, Cass noted that sex-change procedures did not impact suicide risk or deliver on other promised results and that mutilated children may likely have otherwise outgrown their confusion.

These conclusions sent various radicals into fits of rage. Cass has since become a popular target, even for some leftist lawmakers.

Cass recently expressed amazement that whereas Britain is now pumping the brakes on its mutilatory practices — joining the ranks of other Western nations like Finland and Norway — the American medical establishment is ostensibly speeding along with reckless abandon.
